Fort Worth has installed high-water warning flashers at some of the most dangerous road flooding areas. When you see lights flashing, follow these simple safety rules:

  • Turn around; the roadway is closed because water is over the road.
  • Never drive around barricades. Water on the roadway can be much deeper than it appears, and water levels can rise quickly.
  • If lights are not flashing and water is over the road, do not drive through water. The best warning system is common sense.
  • Check the real-time status of high-water warning flasher locations.
